Investigations + Fraud Expertise at Guidepost Solutions

Guidepost Solutions is a trusted leader in corporate investigations, fraud detection, and monitorship services, providing organizations with actionable intelligence, regulatory compliance support, and expert guidance in complex financial and corporate matters. Unlike many large consulting and accounting firms, Guidepost Solutions combines deep investigative expertise with an independent, partner-led approach tailored to each client’s needs.

Comprehensive Investigative Services

Our investigative practice helps clients uncover, respond to, and prevent fraud, misconduct, and regulatory violations. Our services include:

  • Fraud and Misconduct Investigations – Conducting forensic accounting, internal investigations, and due diligence reviews to uncover financial irregularities, misappropriation, or corporate misconduct.
  • Corporate Monitorships and Compliance Oversight – Serving as independent compliance consultants and monitors appointed by regulators, ensuring organizational compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and regulatory obligations.
  • Digital Forensics and Data Analytics – Leveraging advanced e-discovery, digital forensics, and data analytics to reconstruct financial transactions, detect anomalies, and provide courtroom-ready evidence.
  • Asset Tracing and Recovery – Performing cross-border asset investigations, cryptocurrency tracing, and complex financial tracking to locate and recover assets involved in fraud or misconduct.
  • Regulatory Investigations Support – Partnering with counsel, internal audit teams, and compliance officers to support regulatory investigations, ensuring defensible, actionable findings.

Top Fraud Investigation Firm

Our team includes licensed investigators with decades of experience working as federal and local prosecutors and law enforcement agents; digital forensic experts; forensic accountants; data and intelligence analysts; and former federal agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Secret Service, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Some have been called upon to testify as experts in federal and state courts.

Why Guidepost Solutions Stands Out

  • Independent, Partner-Led Teams: Every investigation is overseen by senior leadership with extensive industry and regulatory experience.

  • Tailored Investigative Strategy: Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, Guidepost Solutions customizes investigations to the organization’s industry, jurisdiction, and regulatory landscape.

  • Global Reach, Local Knowledge: We combine cross-border investigative capabilities with deep understanding of local laws, regulations, and enforcement practices.
  • Rapid Response and Advanced Technology: From cyber forensics to blockchain analysis, we deploy cutting-edge tools for swift, accurate, and defensible investigative results.
